I ordered a iphone 6 from AT&T scheduled to be delivered tomorrow between Noon-2pm. As I understand AT&T does not require signature, but leaves it to discretion of the UPS driver. Is this correct?
Got a tip for us?

Relax, I'm going to be home, I just dont trust the UPS guy to ring the doorbell and stick around more than 5 seconds.
I've done all of the suggestions above, sign paper, leave at apt office, leave with neighbor etc etc. But apparently some senders absolutely require a significant in person.
You're not sitting on the porch in a lawn chair drinking a beer until he arrives? Am I the only one?
As I understood in the past, Apple absolutely requires a live signature, but the carriers don't.

If I did that I would be too wasted to use the phone since it would be around 8-9pm or so.
I am usually almost the last house in town to get UPS (between 7-8pm), but being a UPS My Choice member I was able to select a 2 hour delivery window (noon-2pm) that UPS has confirmed.
Interesting. When I called them to ask why I didn't have that option available to me online they told me they aren't doing that for iPhone delivery.

When I checked yesterday online the 2 hour delivery window was available so I choose noon to 2pm and today it shows up as confirmed.

How did you schedule for UPS to deleiver between noon and 2pm?
You must be a UPS My Choice member and sometimes it lets you choose a 2 hour window.
How big is your house that you're worried about the UPS guy showing up, ringing your doorbell and leaving before you make it to the front door?

Don't know, are you sure you have the ninth and tenth characters?

Not big, but it has happened before.
I can see why as it will be crazy as it is without making a specail trip to just get to someone else in a two hour window. Good to hear UPS has good sense!
I'll be home, I'm a SAHM, but I'm printing out the release form from Apple to have on hand to throw on my door when I go to the restroom or to lay my daughter down for a nap. Gotta cover all my bases!
